Californication

All day, I have been looking forward to watching all 12 episodes of Californication, once my Feminine Hygiene GFLT meeting was over. I downloaded all of the episodes last night, in an act of procrastination, when I was supposed to be putting my presentation together. After seeing one half hour episode during a six hour television marathon of the WB channel (also loved Gossip Girl) while in the São Paolo Hilton on a Sunday afternoon in January, I have been dying to see the entire series. And tonight, I stayed up until 3am until I had watched all 12 episodes. Which is approximately 6 straight hours of television viewing. On my 15" laptop monitor. In fact, my laptop almost overheated and the sheets were practically smoking. I had to let it rest overnight, under-side up, so it could cool down.

Needless to say, the series of brilliant, as is David Duchovny as Hank Moody — I loved it…There is much nakedness and lewdness and sex. And also, a lot of vomiting, for a six hour stretch. And there are three vomiting scenes, that are disturbingly realistic. But I have chosen to overlook the puking.

They are beginning the filming of a second season this month and I am anxiously awaiting to see what happens. The first season ended so perfectly, that its almost like there does not need to be a second season. Except of course, we all know that nothing works out perfectly ever after and Hank and Karen will probably mess it all up.
